Djila-tjarriu Community Hub

The $9.9 million facility provides a valuable asset for the rapidly-evolving western suburbs, boasting three kindergarten rooms that can accommodate 99 children at a time, as well as two further community rooms, a meeting room, and associated staff facilities. Opened in February 2024, the project was supported with $2.25 million from the State Government’s 2022-23 Building Blocks Capacity Building Grants.

Providing an integrated local and accessible community facility to cater to the growing population of Ballarat West, the community hub accommodates a diverse range of users, fosters a sense of place, and ensures kindergarten infrastructure in the area meets demand.  

The kindergarten rooms support children in Alfredton and surrounding areas to be ‘school ready’ and cater three-year-old and four-year-old kinder.

The community meeting spaces publicly available service the growth areas and provide spaces for education, training, events and social connections.
